Windham County Heat Fund hosts live music fundraiser

Wednesday, November 12, 2014 — Issue 280

BRATTLEBORO — Dance to local musicians on Saturday, Nov. 15, at Brattleboro's Stone Church on Main Street. All proceeds benefit the Windham County Heat Fund.

Opening at 7:30 p.m. is Nomad vs Settler, with super-fresh, original rock written and performed by local teenagers. Prepare to be astonished: The musicians in this group take their dreams very seriously.

At 8:30 The Fantastic PartnerZ appear: an original band melding funk, pop, and punk for your booty-shakin' pleasure. The band of veteran rockers include Chris Thomas, Trishy-Trish-Trish, Keene Carse, Dan Seiden, “E” DeLuca, and Dave Rountree.

There is a suggested donation of $10 at the door. All proceeds benefit the Windham County Heat Fund, which provides emergency fuel to households during cold winter months.
